Indulge in Luxury: The Ultimate Spa Day Experience at Waldhotel Davos

Ever since 2012, I became intentional about my journey of self-care, and relaxation has always been a vital part of my wellness routine. I started with humble beginnings of budget-friendly spa days during my college years to now seeking out more luxurious and inviting retreats. My quest for the ultimate wellness oasis led me to a remarkable discovery: Waldhotel in Davos, Switzerland.

Tucked away in the heart of Davos, the Waldhotel exudes an aura of luxury and tranquility from the moment you step through its doors and notice the warm, quaint, and charming vibe. Entering the facility, I was warmly greeted by the staff, whose genuine hospitality immediately made me feel like a cherished guest rather than a first time tourist. This set the tone for an unforgettable experience ahead. Majority of my experience in Switzerland had me feeling a bit out of place, so it was nice to be treated like a normal person. I was prepared for a day of relaxation and deceleration for a spa experience of a lifetime that was gracious to my body and soul.

Descending to the basement, the essential oils began wisping beneath the elevator door, and faintly filling the lift. My wellness journey commenced with a blissful massage session. The masseuse’s nimble fingers worked wonders on my neck and thighs, and melted away tension with each precise movement. The option to choose from a selection of aromatic lotions added a personalized touch to the experience. I chose rosemary for the scent and the skin benefits.

Following the massage, I indulged in the saltwater pool and sauna, reveling in the therapeutic benefits they offered. I sat in the sauna for another twenty minutes before hunger crept up on me. Despite being a vegan in a land renowned for its love of meat and cheese, the Waldhotel’s kitchen surpassed all expectations with a thoughtfully crafted three-course meal. Pickled carrots, roasted cauliflower with coconut curry sauce, french fries, and a side salad; for dessert baked pears with lemon sorbet.

Each dish was a culinary masterpiece that left me feeling nourished and satisfied. It doesn’t seem like a lot of food, but it was the perfect serving. The flavors were balanced, and it was a light preparation that didn’t feel heavy at all.

After savoring every bite, I retreated to the sauna for further relaxation and a rejuvenating nap. Emerging from this tranquil haven, I still had ample time to embark on an exhilarating sledding adventure down the mountain slopes.

As I reflect on this unparalleled experience, I am filled with gratitude for the moments of luxury and rejuvenation that Waldhotel held in store. With each passing year, I anticipate the opportunity to manifest yet more Bearthday spa day retreats, knowing that the wellness gods will continue to smile upon my journey of self-discovery and pampering.

Treat yourself to something amazing this season!

peace + purple
